Same way my mother made 'em. She made 'em from scratch tho - using Farmer's Cheese with a very little finely chopped onion for the filling. Fried em in real butter in the large cast iron pan. I could prob. rustle up her dough recipe somewhere if I tried.

Had to go to "the little Polish store" tho just for that cheese as it wasn't readily avail in the markets back then. Octogenarian proprietress barely spoke English and had snow white hair and the smoothest skin.

Mom tried those frozen things many years later and pronounced them a fraud..
